Explanation:
The Lok Sabha may still proceed with the Bill, accepting or not accepting the recommendations of the Rajya Sabha.
If a Money Bill is substantially amended by the Rajya Sabha, the Lok Sabha has the authority to either accept or reject the recommendations made by the Rajya Sabha. The Lok Sabha is not bound to incorporate the amendments suggested by the Rajya Sabha. It can proceed with the Bill and either accept the recommendations or completely disregard them.
